§ MR. GILHOOLYI beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury, as representing the Postmaster General, whether he is aware that it is contemplated to change the sub-post office from Old Court to Creagh; and seeing that the Baltimore and Skibbereen Harbour Commissioners passed a resolution against the proposed change, and pointed out that it would cause inconvenience to the masters and sailors of ships who frequent the river 788 Illen, and who have no landing-place but Old Court in that part of the river, whether he will see that no such change is made in connection with this sub-post office.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE TREASURY (Mr. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN,) Worcestershire, EIt is proposed to improve the postal service to the Creagh district by sending the mails by train to Creagh railway station instead of by road to Old Court, and in connection with this alteration a question has arisen as to the expediency of removing the sub-post office from Old Court to Creagh. The Postmaster General has received a resolution from the Baltimore and Skibbereen Harbour Commissioners against the removal of the office, and before coming to a decision he will consider the matter further.
